“Nobody knows who I am”: Josh Allen opens up about being overshadowed by wife Hailee Steinfeld at global events | NFL News
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen may be one of the NFL’s brightest stars, but even MVPs can find themselves outshined when their partner is a global celebrity. Since marrying actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld earlier this year, Allen has stepped into a new chapter where football glory meets red carpets, fashion weeks, and film premieres. The quarterback is learning firsthand what it means to balance his role as Buffalo’s franchise player with being the supportive husband of a Hollywood star.
Josh Allen shares how it feels when Hailee Steinfeld takes center stage
Josh Allen recently reflected on life alongside his wife during an appearance on Fitz and Whit. While he’s used to commanding NFL stadiums, he admitted that the spotlight often shifts toward Hailee Steinfeld at international events.
“Going to Paris or Italy for fashion weeks, nobody over there knows who I am,” Allen said with a laugh. “We walk into a hotel, and people are lined up trying to get photos and autographs. It’s pretty crazy. She’s a rockstar. I love her, and I don’t know how she does it, but she does it.”Rather than seeing it as a challenge, Allen embraces the experience. His words reveal not just admiration but also pride, showing a partnership built on respect and support.
Both are set for major milestones in their careers
The couple’s professional lives are as busy as ever. Steinfeld is preparing for a packed year of film and music projects, including her collaboration with Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf in the upcoming virtual reality short Asteroid. Meanwhile, Allen is heading into his ninth NFL season — his first as a married man — with hopes of finally leading the Bills to a Super Bowl victory.Also Read: Brittany Mahomes partners with Dallas haircare brand Divi to bring game-day glam to the 2025 NFL seasonTogether, they embody the rare blend of Hollywood glamour and NFL grit, proving that their relationship thrives both under the stadium lights and on the red carpet.
